Augmented reality (AR) allows you
to create an immersive experience for learners. AR combines the web, images,
sound, movies, games, search engines, databases, and social media and explodes
them across the physical world, revealing invisible stories around product,
process, and operation. But what makes a compelling AR experience that makes
learning stick, and how can you get started?

In this hands-on session, participants
will work together to design and create a low-cost AR learner experience that
packs a punch, while discovering which AR experiences work across different
learning solutions. You will also explore several AR authoring tools to
identify limitations and how to design around them. You’ll discover the wide
range of options for designing AR learning experiences and find out just how
easy it can be to get started on developing your own.

functions and limitations of current AR authoring tools
